Minimal and advanced list of tools for your home. Necessary tools for construction work

Foreword

Without different construction equipment you can’t do it in the country - you always need to repair something, take care of the garden, build. That's why carpentry tool for a home workshop must be kept in accordance with all the rules. We will also tell you what kinds of tools you should have at your disposal.

Required Tools

First of all, we need to consider the tools that should be in the workshop, since in the country and suburban area working with wood and other building materials is considered the most popular. Of course, it is not necessary to buy them all at once, as this can cost you a lot of money, however, as financial opportunities arise, try to purchase several copies. All of them are conditionally divided into:

• Mechanized tools;
• Hand tools.

Manual devices are much cheaper than mechanized ones, most often they are used for small repairs or processing. If their power and efficiency are not enough, and the front of work is large, you cannot do without mechanized tools. Of course, everyone should select devices individually, depending on needs, preferences and material wealth. However, it should contain a set of tools for "basic work". These include a hacksaw, screwdrivers, pliers, pliers, tape measure, building level, planer, crowbar (nail puller) and chisel.

Be sure to look at devices such as an electric drill and a jigsaw, which can greatly facilitate your work and make your work faster, while the cost of the devices is quite low. The main thing is to purchase models famous brands because they are reliable and practical.

As you already understood, the list of devices is quite large, and many do not even know the names of some of them. However, there is a certain list of tools that you may need at any time: for drilling holes, hammering nails, grinding.

The most popular manual mechanisms include:

• An ax is a tool used for cutting, tesk and other types of wood processing;
• Hacksaw, without which it will not do;
• Joiner's saw, thanks to which logs are cut;
• Hammer used in hammering nails;
• Planer used for planing wooden surfaces;
• Chisel - a tool for processing wooden blanks;
• Not a single work with wood can do without a nail puller, because it is with them that we will remove nails;
• A tape measure is used to measure the distance, and you will need it when doing any construction work;
• Screwdrivers, without which you can neither screw in nor unscrew the screw;
• Pliers;
• Workbench - equipment for a carpentry home workshop, designed to secure workpieces during their processing with other tools.

You can not do without mechanized tools that increase the speed of work and its quality. Their list is also huge, but many are used only for specialized work. But there are those whose operation may be needed at any time. These include:

• Circular saws needed for cutting building materials;
• An electric planer is a device used for planing wood. With this tool, you can easily achieve flat surface blanks;
• The electric drill is designed for drilling holes in various materials;
• Grinders - carpentry equipment that is required when grinding surfaces before painting;
• Electric jigsaws are used when cutting a variety of building materials. The main advantage of such a device is the ability to make curly cuts;
• Screwdriver, which is used for loosening and tightening screws. With the purchase of additional nozzles, you can drill holes;
• Processing machine with which you can cut boards, sheet materials. Its main advantage is its versatility, one such tool can easily replace several, and it will take up much less space in the workshop.

Undoubtedly, some of the tools listed above are not only for carpentry, because they can work quietly and just as powerfully with metal, concrete, brickwork. In addition to the purchase, the correct storage of materials is also important, which we will also talk about now. This will keep your units safe and sound, which will extend their service life.

Storage is an equally important factor when purchasing devices, and therefore you need to think in advance how the workshop will look like, where the drawers and shelves will be located so that you can immediately find the item you need.

Experts share several rules for arranging a workshop and storing inventory in it, which you definitely need to familiarize yourself with:

1. Sort the inventory into groups, the main of which include: measuring instruments, plumbing, plumbing and mounting tools. All of them should be formed according to semantic groups;
2. Cleanliness and order is the rule of thumb, as dust and grease can cause your devices to “lose health”. Be sure to set aside a small space in the workshop for storing solvents, rags, detergents, technical napkins. And clean them immediately after using them;
3. The use of special storage furniture is another important factor. It includes racks, cabinets and drawers, which also help to visually expand the space;
4. Use free areas on the walls for attaching tools, which will get rid of the clutter of boxes and racks;
5. “Fragile items” should be stored in drawers to protect them from breakage, and sharp tools should be placed in a way to avoid possible injury. They also cannot be stacked on top of each other, since this way the chances of getting injured when searching for the right tool increase;

If you use the rules described above, you can easily create a comfortable environment for work, keeping your carpentry tools for the workshop in complete safety.

Probably, everyone wondered what tool is needed in the house, what is the most necessary? Perhaps it was during the first renovation of the apartment, or when buying a new one. Some of the tool should always be at hand, because it is difficult to predict when this or that thing may come in handy.

Home set

In the article, we will consider what everyone needs first of all. home master, which is difficult to do without Everyday life, be with you private house or an apartment.
I will make a short list of the tool that I consider the most important in my opinion, which I use most often.
Although tool kits are often sold ready-made, there are often unnecessary items, or not quite suitable, so I think it is advisable to take everything separately.

Electric drill

One of the most commonly used power tools in repairs. With its help, you can perform many tasks: drill a hole if you need to hang a cabinet, shelf, curtain rod, drill metal, wood, plastic. Of course, it is worth noting that it is not very efficient to drill concrete (slowly), but still it is possible, brick is no problem.

It can also replace a screwdriver, you can turn self-tapping screws. Only a little skill is needed, because there is no friction clutch, the cartridge will not stop in time, you can turn the head of the self-tapping screw. But at low speeds, slowly, it is quite possible to work like a screwdriver.

It will be possible to use a drill to knead a screed mortar or tile adhesive, of course, not in large volumes and not industrial scale, since this task requires a powerful engine, but just for home use it will cope without problems (you will need a mixer attachment).
For a drill, you will immediately need to take drills, you can use metal, they will easily take both plastic and wood. The most popular sizes are 3, 4, 6, 8, 10mm. they are inexpensive. If the house is brick or concrete, then the appropriate concrete drills. The most needed are 6mm, 8mm.
Well, for complete set plastic dowels, also 6 and 8mm.

Building

Without it, it is difficult to evenly hang the same shelf, cabinet, or set it level washing machine, put tiles, so without it anywhere. For ordinary household tasks, a small level, 60cm or 80cm, is enough.

3. wrench or adjustable wrench.

Needed for tightening nuts and bolts. You can take a small set of the most popular sizes (from 8mm to 17mm). But since we are talking about the most necessary, it is quite possible to get by with one adjustable wrench. There are many types and sizes. I think that a key up to 30 mm is the most versatile, since it will fit both small nuts and large ones that are used in plumbing, and you can also replace the tap.

Main types

The piece is simply irreplaceable. Any screw, screw, self-tapping screw - without a screwdriver anywhere. So let's add them to the list.
Most right size cross No. 2 (marking PH No. 2). Suitable for most self-tapping screws used both in everyday life and in production. Suitable for black on wood, metal, with a press washer, for yellow.

You also need to take PH No. 1 (first cross). It is needed for thin self-tapping screws, such are used in small parts. Often they come with thresholds that connect the joints of linoleum.

You should not forget about the slotted one either, although it is used much less frequently than a cross, but still it is needed, you can take it 5 mm wide (the tip of a screwdriver is measured).

A probe screwdriver, you can check the socket or cable for voltage, you can also turn the screws. Since it is small, it is suitable for a terminal block. When repairing sockets, installing a chandelier, this is a very necessary thing. Even if the machine was turned off at the entrance, it is still worth checking the phase on the wire, there may be residual voltage. Such a screwdriver costs a penny.

5. Pipe wrench.

Zero number (small)

Unlike a wrench, it is convenient to clamp round objects, especially if its jaws are S-shaped. When repairing plumbing, sometimes it helps a lot. It is convenient to clamp something like this, the compression force is very good, the harder you press on the handles, the stronger the squeeze. Well suited in a situation where the object is not fixed, for example, a piece of pipe and there is a nut on it, hold the pipe with one hand, turn the nut with the other.

6. Wood saw.

Wood saw

It's difficult to run a business without it. It will be optimal to take it with a middle tooth, and the cut will turn out to be quite clean and it will not cut slowly. You can take a red-hot one, you don’t have to sharpen it.

5 meters

Any measurements in the house will make you pick up this tool, whether it's laying a laminate, installing ceiling cornice, yes anything.
I think that it is optimal to take a 5m tape measure, enough for most standard apartments.

Medium at 160mm

Clamp, press, hold, bite off a small nail, wire, cable, pull something out. On trifles, this tool performs a bunch of tasks, without it it is difficult to imagine a full-fledged set of tools for the house.
There are both mini pliers, as well as large and medium. Probably, it is optimal to buy medium ones, 160 mm long, they are most convenient to use, and they are suitable for both large and medium palms.

Convenient headband with 3 batteries

Useful thing. For example, you are installing a chandelier, or repairing a socket, the machine is turned off in the entrance, in this case it is difficult without a lantern. Yes, and it will fit in the car, or in the vegetable pit.
There are ordinary hand lanterns, there is also a headlamp. I consider the second option the most versatile, since both hands are free and the beam shines exactly in the place where you are looking at the moment.

10. A hammer.

Hammer average weight

Without nails in construction, nowhere, as well as without a hammer. They come in different weights. It will be optimal to have 400-500g on the farm, no more. You can hammer a small nail, and you can handle a big one. Naturally, it is better to hammer small ones, 200g with a hammer, and large 800g, but with infrequent use, one is enough.

Clerical

You can buy regular stationery. Suitable for stripping cables, such as antenna. You can cut linoleum, cardboard, leather.

12. Small set of self-tapping screws won't hurt the house.

Self-tapping screws different

Let's take the most popular ones. These are black wood for 20mm, 50mm, maybe 75mm. With a press washer for 13mm, 25mm (also suitable for metal). Enough for a small handful, pieces of 100.
You can also take dowels to them immediately if you have to mount them in a concrete or brick wall.

13. Well, where is it all stored? This will require tool box. There are both big ones and small ones. But it’s better to have more, say, 24 inches, although it will take up space, but everything will fit, except for the level, although if it’s 40 cm, it will fit. The box has a main compartment - for large items, there are also small things, such as self-tapping screws, dowels, bits, drills, screwdrivers.

That's basically it. I think this set should be in every home. Of course, this is only the basis, here you can add a number of things at your discretion, such as side cutters, thin-nosed pliers, hacksaws. Also a good set would be for a gift.

Price. Probably an important factor when buying. I took the tool not the most expensive, but not the cheapest, so that it was not very expensive, but it also served decently. Manufacturers may be different, not necessarily those in the photo.
Here approximate price at the end of 2012

When it comes to acquiring a tool for household needs, most men turn into children. They give themselves up to this process with such rapture that gradually the place allotted for absorbs the entire volume of the pantry.

Therefore, if you are not a home needleworker and do not devote all your free time to your hobby, it is better to immediately make a list of the necessary tools and, comparing it with what is already in your arsenal, just buy the missing one.

Kit home instrument usually completed over many years, so only in rare cases it is necessary to start its formation from scratch. But if you are a woman and start an independent life, then surely in your arsenal there is nothing worse than a nail file. This is exactly the option when you have to go through the entire list of tools, although for self use women will need far from everything that is in it.

There are quite large sets of tools on sale, which are called the "universal set". But often in such a set there is far from everything that may be needed, but there are completely unnecessary positions.

Therefore, it is better to buy tools "at retail".

So, in every house must be:

• Hammer - the usual with a metal striker. The fact is that there are a lot of hammers on sale and their use depends on the type of work performed - it can be a hammer with a rubber striker or with a wooden one (mallet), but for the house you need the most ordinary hammer. It is advisable to buy a tool with a wooden handle, just make sure that it is well polished, although plastic handle is also suitable.
• , more precisely - a few screwdrivers. They are different types. But the main two are “flat” and “cruciform”. Their main purpose is screwing - turning out screws, self-tapping screws, bolts. It is advisable to have three types of screwdrivers of each type - to be able to work with both the smallest screws and larger ones. The length of the screwdriver tip can also be different - from very short to very long, which work in hard-to-reach places. Choose the tool for your specific needs. For electrical work, it is necessary to have an indicator screwdriver, with which you can determine the presence of voltage in the phases.

• Pincers (nippers, pliers). Better buy universal tool, which combines both pliers (for tightly clamping any objects) and wire cutters (in order to cut wires or wire). The handles of this tool must have insulating pads to prevent electric shock. Such a tool is suitable for both carpentry and locksmith work.
• Wrenches - designed to work with bolts that have a hex head. Wrenches come in a variety of sizes and shapes to match bolt sizes. You can purchase a set of keys, then you will have a tool "for all occasions." The whole set of wrenches can replace an adjustable wrench, it is almost universal, but due to its size it is not convenient for them to work everywhere. In addition, you are unlikely to be able to use it to unscrew a rusty bolt.
• Wood saw. It is necessary for cutting wooden parts(bars, glazing beads, slats). The size of the hacksaw itself and the size of its teeth depend on the type of work performed. If you live in your own house, then you should have several hacksaws and possibly a two-handed saw (for sawing firewood).

• Hacksaw - used for sawing various metal parts and even pipes. Don't forget to get a few spare blades as they wear out pretty quickly.
• Ax - serves both for chopping firewood and for cutting wooden parts.
  The reverse side of the ax can drive a couple of nails, but it is still better to use it for its intended purpose.

• Roulette - a ruler made of soft elastic material, twisted into a bobbin. For those who live in an apartment, a tape measure 2-5 meters long is enough. If you have a howling house, then it is better to buy a tape measure of greater length - 10 meters.
• Flashlight - hand-held or for putting on the head. Very handy when needed electric installation work in the evening or in poorly lit places when the machines are turned off. The second option frees both hands for work.
• A small set of nails, self-tapping screws and dowels of various calibers in case "the store is already closed."

There are also tools that do not have to be in the house, but in some cases it is difficult to do without them.

• - necessary for such works as the device of fastenings for shelves, masonry work. It is something like a ruler. yellow color, in which tubes with liquid are embedded.
• Caliper - measuring device, which allows you to measure the thickness of the object, the diameter, the depth of the holes.
• Gas wrenches - necessary for the production of locksmith work. With their help, it is convenient to change batteries, unwind pipes, clamp various objects.

If it is supposed to perform large volumes of any work, then power tools will help speed up their implementation.

• Drill - used to drill holes. It is better, of course, to use an electric tool. If you intend to drill holes in concrete walls, you will need a tool equipped with a punch function. To work with a drill, drills of various diameters are needed for different materials.
• Electric jigsaw - will help you easily cut small bars or even logs, a sheet of fiberboard or chipboard, as well as make curly cutouts. For sawing large logs and beams, it is better to use a chainsaw.
• - a kind of electric screwdriver - used when performing large amounts of work on screwing in - unscrewing self-tapping screws and screws.
• - serves for cutting hard materials like paving slabs, metal pipes, slate, metal sheets, corrugated board.

All these power tools should be purchased only if you are engaged in construction or have own home, give. In other cases, to perform one-time work, they can be rented for a short time.

Just keep in mind that all consumable- drills, nozzles for a screwdriver, circles for grinders and jigsaw files will have to be purchased independently.

To store the tool, you can take a separate shelf in the pantry or buy a special plastic box with many compartments.

Thus, the set of essential tools in the house is quite small. In various unforeseen circumstances, you can get by with a minimum of tools, and buy the rest later if necessary.

The real owner always has in his arsenal a minimum supply of tools necessary for minor repairs and the elimination of "domestic accidents". But what about young families who have not yet delved deeply into everyday problems and do not even know what their fate may one day face. In this short mini-course-article, we decided to describe all the necessary or, one might say, the minimum supply of tools for the home.

What problems and types of work can be encountered at home?

There is no perfect home, even in new buildings you constantly have to repair or change something, but if you have never encountered domestic problems and usually your dad or foreman did everything in your family, then how do you know what you might encounter? Let's break everything possible problems and category ideas:

• Plumbing accidents;
• Capital repairs;
• Assembly / installation of furniture;
• Work with metal;

Of course, the list is far from complete, as real life you may encounter much more extensive difficulties and problems, but, nevertheless, the tool for solving them will be the same.

What should be in the "household first aid kit" of tools?

A set of tools for the home can essentially be called a “household first aid kit”, which in case of any “wounds” or “diseases” will always come to the rescue. What can we need in the first place and why?

1. Hammer - no matter what anyone says, and the hammer will always be the first tool used in the house. With a hammer, you can do a bunch various activities- hammer, straighten, straighten, etc. In addition to a hammer, your household should also have a nail puller.
2. Drill - in order to hang or outweigh something, you must first prepare holes for fasteners for this. In addition, using a drill, you can also drill holes for wiring, pipes, and so on.
3. Pliers and wire cutters - when working with electricity, these tools are indispensable, with their help you can bite off the wire, twist the wires together and perform a lot of other actions, for example, using the same pliers, you can easily get a nail out of the wall.
4. A set of screwdrivers and a cue ball - to fix any object in place, one drill will not be enough, since you can’t screw screws or screws into the wall with it, but with a screwdriver it’s easy. You must have cue balls in your arsenal different size, both for working with small bolts, and with large ones.
5. Adjustable, open-end and box wrenches - these three types of wrenches are simply indispensable when working with plumbing and gas equipment. In the event of a water pipe break, a gas leak, or just connecting new equipment, you can’t do without them. Keys, as well as screwdrivers, must be of different sizes.
6. A grinder, a grinder, a chisel - you also can’t do without these tools, you need something for grinding materials, something you need to work with metals, and somewhere to make some kind of hole in the wall. For example, using a chisel, you can install door locks, heck and other accessories.
7. A set of gaskets, rubber bands, taps and other accessories - no owner can do without it, especially in the event of an accident. Have in your first aid kit at least a couple of spare taps for gas and water, a few gaskets and fumlent, because it will definitely not work to fix something quickly without this.
8. Nails, self-tapping screws, screws - not a single house can do without fasteners, in order to fix or nail something where you will need fasteners and in each case it will be different, for example, nails are suitable for connecting boards, dowels are more suitable for wood and concrete - nails, self-tapping screws are needed to assemble the frames.
9. Tape measure and level - these two tools are essential for any builder, with their help you can not only accurately measure the height, width and length required element, but also set it to the nearest millimeter.
10. Brushes - for paintwork you need not only paints, but also tools for applying them, it is best if you have brushes and rollers in your stock not only for painting, but also for applying glue. For example, such brushes are often used for wallpapering.

IMPORTANT: Do not forget, all tools must be of different sizes and shapes, that is, your set should not have only one key for "17", buy at least a couple more keys for "19", "13" and "22", do the same with the rest of the tools and nozzles for them.

Works on suburban area there is always plenty, but without the appropriate tool, it will not be easy to complete it. Presented for sale wide range of equipment and accessories to perform various works. What to take and what not to spend money on? It is no secret that many expensive installations are not really needed or have much cheaper counterparts. The answer to the question of what tools for home and garden can be useful to you, you will find below.

List of summer resident's works

To find out what tools the average summer resident needs, you need to understand what exactly he plans to do on the site. All works are divided into two groups:

1. Regular ones like watering, weeding beds, mowing lawns and so on.
2. Irregular - arrangement of beds and irrigation systems, slides, arches, construction country houses, other.

Considering the fact that a dacha is a garden, a vegetable garden and a house itself, the list of works is impressive. The main categories of tools that may be required for their implementation are:

• electrical installation;
• plumbing;
• construction;
• horticultural;
• carpentry;
• metalwork.

The hand tool needed by the summer resident: we make up the minimum set

Of course, you can buy a ready-made garden tool kit, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will have everything you need. Therefore, let's look at all the accessories that are needed to perform basic work on the site and in the house:

We named the most the right tools for giving manual type. Do you want to buy something extra? You can do this, but the basis must be required.

Electric tool - the main friend and assistant of the summer resident

What electric tools are needed in the country? Here, too, you can make a separate list. It will include:

1. Impact electric drill, thanks to which you can drill holes of any diameter without any extra effort. Brick, concrete, wood, metal - the base can be anything. For the same purpose, an electric hammer drill is used.
2. corner Grinder(or grinder) with cutting discs for different materials that will expand its functionality.
3. Electric screwdriver - it is much easier to work with it than with a similar manual installation.
4. An electric planer with a nozzle is indispensable in woodworking.
5. Electric jigsaw - allows you to make cuts, cuts, cuts in a bar, cut flat lumber
6. Chain mini electric saw.
7. If you plan to do metal work often, buy welding machine, but keep in mind that it gives a very large load on the network.
8. Electrical .

An electric tool is more expensive than a manual one, but it also has a much higher performance.

Amateur or professional class: what to choose

What tools a man needs to give, we figured out. The question arises as follows: what class of equipment is better - amateur or professional. It is clear that the professional tool is more powerful and productive, but it also costs much more. Is the cost of buying it justified?

The amateur tool is more versatile and less productive. When choosing a drill, consider whether you need to drill the maximum number of holes per hour or whether such expenses for the purchase of professional equipment are simply not practical. As for the brand, the devices of world famous brands are more expensive than less popular ones. The domestic tool does an excellent job with the tasks and has more low cost, so when limited budget it makes sense to pay attention to Russian-made products.
